The problem with most college kids (at least where I go, UNH) is that people are exposed to these ideas that seem great on paper, yet epicly fail in reality. Liberals I encounter in college have this rosy picture of everyone around the world holding hands and singing whilst running towards a glorious sunset of lollipops and unicorns. Reality couldn't be further from the truth.

Obama is a fantastic wordsmith. He has failed to yield any results. The slow economic recovery and job creation going on have absolutely NOTHING to do with him. I voted for Gary Johnson. I really think **** in the EU and US is gonna hit the fan hard if this insane spending continues.

Trust me, I don't believe much in the trickle down effect. I do believe ridiculous stimulus spending and bank bailouts are a complete waste of taxpayer funds. I would like to see a return to fiscal responsibility and accountability. These means not giving bailouts to failing businesses and banks. Obama has had multiple scandals involving green energy, and allotting funds to them from the taxpayer's pocket.

I think that social safety nets are due for reform. Social security was designed to support an old person through the final 5 years of life, not be a 15-20 year stipend. With people on average living to 80, it should start at 75, not 65. Welfare should NOT encourage people to stay on it. Welfare babies and other such ******** need to go. It should be a temporary fix between jobs, and only be available if you can prove you are out of work, but are hunting for a job/getting job interviews done. I call ******** to anyone saying they can't get at least a part time minimum wage job. (Yes I know this won't pay all the bills, and I believe this is where partial welfare should kick in, to make ends meet and reward people actually trying).

Illegals need to NOT get any benefits at all. No anchor babies, no ******* bending to them at all. If they come here injured and are under 18, they can get medical attention. Over 18? Tough ****, buddy.

I was just pointing out that Liberals aren't the only ones that sometimes like to "have this rosy picture of everyone around the world holding hands and singing whilst running towards a glorious sunset of lollipops and unicorns".

Well, no one will tell you more on how the earth is flat, even though you believe anything Obama sais, dont you? And a Pareto distribution? Do you even know what the **** you are talking about? This is America not Italy.

LOL, where do you get your facts from? None of those states are even in the TOP 10 of having the highest black population. Also considering 94% of blacks voted for Obama, your statement makes no sense. Nice try, you racist bigot.

It seems like they're taking quantity into account rather than quality. They're simply counting any college degree as better education. A guy who just got his degree in underwater basket weaving is counted as better educated than a guy whose spent many years mastering a trade. That just doesn't make much sense, especially given the many colleges that just take your money and spit you out with a degree.

You also don't know how many of the college educated actually voted or who they voted for.

It seems to me that the creator of this knew how they wanted the chart to look from the beginning and simply selected data that got them the result they wanted. I doubt the information is indicative of anything.

my girlfriend (who is also from ny) lives here, went to ole miss for law school so i moved down almost 2 years ago figuring we'd move back to ny by now but we haven't yet. probably move back to ny in another year or so once we're more financially stable

haha yea. but the further south you go, the more barren and deserted the state feels. sometimes the peace and quiet is nice but to go from a state with about 21 mil pop. to one thats got only 3 mil sucks for social experience. you seem to know a bit, where are you from?

haha, trust me, I live in Walls right between Tunica and South Memphis...same **** up here. I stopped at a gas station a few months ago and the clerk and another customer took one look at me in a collared shirt and a yankees hat and gave me the stereotypical, "you ain't from round these parts are yuh?"

Just look at such geniuses as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Rachel Maddow, and Donald Trump! I'm sorry man, your argument is only true in certain cases like with Jobs and Gates, tends to be negative rather than positive.

Or just my ******* dad and two brothers, who are electricians who make 40 an hour. Compared to my sister who teaches 2nd through kindergarten and makes not that much. You do not need a college degree to be considered smart, or be a billionaire.

I agree that you don't need college to matter, but I am tired of people using people like Steve Jobs and others to justify that they don't need jobs.
I know your not saying that, I'm just pointing out there are more people who are poor who dropped out then who made it big.

not true. i evaded going to college as i didnt see the point in furthering education until i felt it was really needed.

started in fast food, got a gig in sales. worked on that for a few years and then i got picked up by a marketing company due to my track record in business to business sales. success with them lead me to marketing manager, making 110k a year and i'm only 24. it IS possible, you just need to work hard.
